This week we installed 2 ZipThaws at the Marine Corps Camp Pendleton Navy Hospital.

– Lab staff set up ZipThaw and training

– Will Davey, VP Product Management and Design, remotely instructed lab director and tech staff on operation, validation and setup. Linda Fabian and Fred Thacher in support.

– ZipThaw successfully thawed a 283ml of frozen plasma to a precise temperature in short order.

Friends, we emailed this notice yesterday to our list and received a lot of positive feedback, so we’re reposting it to our blog.

ZipThaw Goes Global

ZipThaw is becoming the choice of hospitals for thawing and warming blood products, not only nationwide, but worldwide. ZipThaw, along with the ZipSleeve disposable, is now installed in nearly 200 locations, from the Midwest to the Middle East.

Trauma centers, critical access hospitals, US Navy ships, veterinary emergency hospitals, research labs, VA hospitals, other military facilities and university hospitals now use ZipThaw’s updated technology to more easily and cheaply thaw frozen plasma. ZipThaw is dry, portable, precise and quick.

The FDA cleared, AABB Scope certified device gains market share each month. We welcome Malaysia into our family of countries now importing ZipThaw.

Ready to replace your cumbersome water bath for a more affordable next gen device? Please reach out for more information and a quote.

Thank you,

We’re hard at work prepping ZipThaws for delivery.

Here’s Will Davey, VP Product Management and Design and Fred Thacher in St. Paul, MN to test another 90+ ZipThaw202s for release to sale.

Detailed test data recorded on each ZipThaw202 to comply with FDA standards.

ZipThaw is a blood product thawer that uses revolutionary dry technology to quickly thaw blood products for patients in need. ZipThaw is dry, so there’s no messes like with water baths, and fast, so you can increase your thawed plasma throughput — it’s also easy for staffers to use. With simple thawing, staffers can spend their time elsewhere on other critical tasks.

Last generation water bath thawers require enormous amounts of staff time to prep, use and continually decontaminate the devices. Circulated water gets dirty fast. With ZipThaw, there’s a disposable ZipSleeve that both protects the device and assists rapid thawing. If there’s ever a blood product bag leak, simply toss out the ZipSleeve. The device stays untouched. Staffers can move on to other things.

Generally, ZipThaw maintenance is as simple as wiping the device off from time to time, and replacing the heating cushions once or twice a year — a five-minute process done by a staffer, on site. This is less than an hour of maintenance per year, versus many long hours per week with hot water baths.

To learn more about ZipThaw, contact us for a video or in-person demonstration.

We’ve been on the road introducing ZipThaw, the revolutionary blood product thawing device, to military and civilian clinicians.

We’re delighted to partner with Minnetronix to manufacture ZipThaw, a dry, lightweight, safe and very fast blood product thawing device. We’re made in the USA courtesy of partners like Minnetronix in Minnesota. fremonscientific.com. Take a tour inside their facilities to learn more about them:

ZipThaw is a revolutionary blood product thawing device. It’s dry, it’s portable, it contains advanced sensors so it precisely tracks the thawing curve, and it’s fast.
ZipThaw is also very cost efficient. How? First, ZipThaw uses far less electricity than a hot water bath which needs to be pre-warmed and left on for hours at a time. Second, since ZipThaw is a blood product thawing device built from the ground up, we were started with a blank page and designed a thawing device that is dry, safe and accurate. This means there are huge efficiencies with ZipThaw.

• There is no maintenance or cleaning labor on weekly basis and no time.
• Since it’s dry, there are no required toxic chemicals like algicies and no need for deionized water. There are no required wet sinks, draink hoses, air filters to replace and water disposal.
• ZipSleeve means there are no lost samples and a dramatically reduced risk of cross contamination.
• Since it’s portable and has a small footprint, you can move ZipThaw and don’t take up valuable bench space.
• Lastly, since ZipThaw is so easy to use, there are fewer labor costs and training time.

RE: FreMon Scientific Announces the Appointment of two new Board Directors

Dear Shareholder and Friends,

As CEO and a Director of FreMon Scientific it gives me great pleasure to introduce two new Members of the FreMon Scientific Board of Directors. Each is well recognized in economics and medicine and we’re honored to have them on the Board. Please join me in giving Drs Norm Miller and Michael Couris a warm welcome.

Norm Miller PhD is the Hahn Chair and Professor of Real Estate Finance at the University of San Diego, and Vice-President of the Homer Hoyt Institute, a think tank of global urban economic scholars and industry research directors. His PhD is from the Finance Department of the Ohio State University. He has taught and guest lectured globally. Prior to joining USD, he was a Professor at the University of Cincinnati. He also advises on the management of private wealth in real estate and stock portfolios, and serves on several advisory boards. He has consulted for several trade associations and private firms and endowments providing economic outlooks and investment strategies. He has been a valuation expert for the FDIC and has been a frequent speaker to trade associations.

Michael Couris MD is a native of Kingston, New York and a 1988 graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with an SB in Biology. He attended the Georgetown University School of Medicine on a US Navy Health Professions Scholarship, graduating in 1992. From there, Dr. Couris interned in General Surgery at Naval Medical Center San Diego. He trained as a Naval Flight Surgeon and then was assigned to the Third Marine Aircraft Wing in Tustin, CA. He deployed with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard USS Peleliu and in Kuwait supporting Operation Southern Watch. Following a residency in ophthalmology in San Diego, he finished his Navy career in Portsmouth, VA. Dr. Couris returned to San Diego where he opened his now 20 year-old private practice at Vision Care and Correction of San Diego, where he offers comprehensive ophthalmic services with an emphasis on premium vision correction procedures. Dr. Couris has assumed various leadership roles in organized medicine and currently serves as the CFO of Mercy Physicians Medical Group and as President of Scripps Mercy Physician Partners.

Yesterday Linda Fabian, Director National Accounts and Fred Thacher, Chief Development Officer, demonstrated ZipThaw® to more than 8 Kaiser Permanente Hospital blood bank and lab technicians, managers and directors.

Fresh frozen plasma is an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers that can’t afford to be wasted. Unfortunately, the process of thawing FFP in a water bath can lead to enormous plasma waste.

For decades, medical professionals have used slow, cumbersome, imprecise water baths to thaw plasma. It’s time for a better way!

Thaw More Plasma Faster with ZipThaw®

Traditionally, plasma thawing is done in hot water baths which are slow, messy, and outdated. With their slow thawing to imprecise temperatures, time taken for warm up, and extensive maintenance and clean up needs, water baths make it impossible to maintain high plasma throughput levels.

Now there’s an easier way to thaw more plasma, faster. ZipThaw® is a made in the USA, AABB SCoPE certified, FDA-cleared plasma thawing medical device that uses advanced dry technology and safety features to thaw quickly and reliably.

ZipThaw’s two independent chambers can thaw 8 bags to a measured 31°C for transfusion, or 12 bags to a measured 15°C for refrigeration in just 60 minutes. ZipThaw is also completely portable, virtually downtime-free, and requires fewer staffers to operate.

One of the biggest challenges for blood banks and trauma centers is throughput. How quickly can clinicians deliver thawed plasma to patients in need? Consider safe-handling concerns, workflow complexity and the short-lived viability of thawed plasma — getting plasma to a patient, safely and efficiently, is enormously complicated. The current system built around slow, labor-intensive water bath thawing methods is rife with problems and in desperate need of innovation.
